- Nick Wright started out this Finals series picking the Golden State Warriors to win, but two games in decided the Boston Celtics would take the Championship. Last night Steph Curry's Warriors proved Nick's flip-flop to be unwise, winning the title in 6 games, for the 4th time in 8 years. Nick reveals whether or nor he regrets leaving the Golden State camp for the Boston one.

@@JahQuick1111 pppppoooo
Wiggins was really the key factor in this Dub nation road to glory really..
Go and ask Donkic n Tatum
Nick’s flip flop after game 2 of this series changed the history of the NBA forever. We will never forget
GSW took that personally…
Warriors fan here when Nick picked Warriors I said its ove for the Dubs
When he switched I was sooo happyy man
When Nick picked Boston I knew they were doomed, he was 100% wrong about them all playoffs 😂
Not in the 1st round but whatever I guess, narratives are everything lol
Except when he was the only person on the planet to pick them over the nets
and he picked the mavs over the suns. do you have dementia? go get help
Stephen a was wrong the last 10 finals and chose the warriors
Nick's pick = Kiss of death "Mavs in 5"
*_""we will never see Steph in another NBA finals, ever"_*
Nick Wright February 7, 2020
Clown indeed
Drop the receipts
He should probably change that to "We will never see Steph without another Finals MVP, ever." They're back, and this was the year to beat them, because they were not fully what they will be next year. I truly think this is their 2nd chance to do 2015 and 2016 over and come out with wins. Steph with 5 titles and 2 FMVPs will definitely put him in the GOAT conversation.
@@talesofcsoplahia I heard Klay talk about embracing the MOMENT. He said, "BE where your feet are!" I love that idea! I think the GS fans need to do that! GS may not win another championship...it's really difficult. Injuries happen to key players all the time! So let's just ENJOY THIS MOMENT! No matter what Steph does the rest of his career, he is one of the best and has given his fans some incredible moments.
Nick Wrong.
i agree with Wilde here, everybody's talking like the Celtics will lock up the Warriors, but in the end it was the Warriors who locked up the Celtics plus watching Marcus Smart after being the DPOY and go Flopping and locking up no one is a big joke
Watching Smart flop all finals was absolutely atrocious. Dude is a clown. I hope he and Paul never get a ring
Tatum needs to be kicked out of club superstar he ain't got that dog in him too passive. All Star maybe
@@mrmillennium2697 Tatum proved he's a number 2. He's an AD, not a Kobe
Keep that same energy with LeFlop
@@Ajr5691 calm down bro... He is 23.... Kobe was a second option at 23 too....
I remember someone saying GSW will never win a championship once they acquire wiggins.
Don't let broussard's laughing fool you either, last season he said that steph should go join lebron and the lakers if he wanted to win.
@@josephatherley Do you have a link to that? we need to start holding these loud mouths accountable lol
After these finals,Walker has decided to move Curry from a top 30 player to a top 50 all time.
🤣🤣😭
🤣🤣🤣
🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️😂😂😂😂
Anyone going to mention how Lebron traded away Wiggins to build a Super team? Meanwhile Steph takes Wiggins and makes him an all star and NBA champion.
A ring is a ring. If the warriors with Wiggins win another ring, then you might have a point. LeBron did trade Wiggins away and won anyway.
@@lucio989 nah. He already has a point. Everything else sounds like a cope.
Huh? We're talking about a rookie vs a guy who's been in the league 8 years. Not comparable
@@Baccanaso so the point is Wiggins was a champion level player all along? Then LeBron winning without him is more impressive than Steph winning with him...
@@lucio989 I say yes, just underutilized by a poor team. He’s always had the tools that helped the warriors win this chip. Lebron had zero patience and Steph did not
“Ten toes down for ten days” lmao Nick got Chris with the breakdown lol
That’s the first time Nick made me laugh. Lol he got down on that one 🤣
Great show. They’re hilarious together. But honestly 1 fluke 4th quarter prevented a Gentleman’s 🧹. Defense wins Championships.
Both teams played dang good defense - Warriors were just better.
But Warriors didn't have a single game where they steamrolled the Celtics with their offense. Every game had Golden State scoring 100 to 108 points. It was enough, but it was more their defense that put the pain on Boston.
You're right - that 4Q was a fluke!!
💯!!!
@@bobdole4916 I mean, they had a 29 point lead going into the 4th quarter, in Game 2. That's pretty significant.
@@ryanj3975 But it was defense based, not offense.
All six games, the Warriors scored 100-108 points.
Not one game over 110 it was impressive.
GSW played elite elite defense. Very underrated. Wiggins defense is revelation.
After guarding Luka somewhat effectively. Facing Tatum was something he was ready for.
Nick never fails me I was so happy when he went with Boston lol whoever he picks is almost guaranteed 2 lose lol
Same here
He is the jinx
He was wrong about 3 series out of the entire playoffs (MIL/BOS, DAL/GS, BOS/GS) and right about 2 series that no one else in the media agreed with him on (BRK/BOS, PHX/DAL) most of the other series he was also correct about even though they were east to predict including DAL/UTAH. You guys in the basketball community love narratives just as much as the media themselves it’s pretty funny lol
@@YungLanxx aw how wrong u are see you think he only predicts basketball games huh aw ok but let's remember he was wrong just with jus about every team in football playoffs and consistently bad in predictions during the season that's why everybody including other sports analyst call him nick wrong
He definitely earned that name
Nick Wright got humbled once again and called out by Draymond Green
Once he said Draymond is trash i knew he was a casual fan with a TV job
When did he call him out?
Golden State warriors wining this title shows how good they can be than most teams
Dubs had the #2 defense and #1 offense. Boston had #1 defense and #2 offense. Having a #2 defense is good enough to give a #2 offense trouble. But when you have a #1 offense, it usually doesn't matter how good the opposing defense is. Any offense will score on the best of defenses, otherwise we'd have teams going completely scoreless. What do people say even after someone plays great defense and a player still scores?..."Great defense, just better offense." And that's all that happened. I've said it since pre-season. No matter how good teams are, the Warriors just make them look bad.
But you still have to be an elite defensive team. Which NBA Champion wasn’t considered a good defensive team?
The Celtics problem was they don't have a real point guard and somehow Ime Udoka forgot every play in his playbook except ISO.
idk mavs a couple years ago had the highest rated offense ever and didn’t get out of the first round.
Okay expert
The Warriors had the #1 defense until Draymond got hurt and missed time.
Without a doubt the best 3 defensive players in this series were on the Warriors’ side: Wiggs, Dray and GPII.
The Mount Rushmore of 3pt shooters is Steph Curry four times
More like 3 Stephs and one Klay
Steph, Reggie and Ray on that slab for sure... #4 depends on individual "taste" and I'll take JJ Reddick.
@@iorwuesenongu7356 Klay*
@@yaquvyhardson3768 correction taken "Klay" thanks.
2 stephs 1 klay and 1 ray
It seemed like game 4 somehow "broke" Boston. They never looked right in games 5 & 6--something seemed off. It's almost like the Celtics starting doubting whether they could actually beat Golden State :\
Golden state figured them out and they continued trying to do what worked at the beginning. This was terrible coaching on bostons part and terrible play from mediocre stars brown and tatum
Game 4 was unbelievable ; they shot the three pointers better, they won more rebounds, 4 starters when 0 for 19. But the warriors still won; of course it broke them!
@@oasjunk Those statlines are from game 5.
Golden state has more experience and made less mistakes. Really Boston had the talent to win but they crumbled. Klay/draymond didn’t really even play great most of the series
@@kgisabeast agreed, however in drays defense (no pun intended), I think he still defended at a high level outside of games 1 and 3.
Nick WRONG switching his Finals pick has to be one of the biggest SELF OWN's in NBA anlayst history
Its up there with LeSkippy Bayless being called "Water Pistol Pete" by Jalen Rose
lmaooooooooo
🤣😆😂🤣😀🤣😂🤣😆😜
Wildes: makes good point
Nick and Chris: the most outta pocket statement of all time
Warriors showed which team had the better defense. Would have been the top rated defense during regular season if we didn't lose Draymond for a long stretch
I think the Warriors were the top defensive team when healthy during the season, and Draymond was the front runner for the dpoy before he got hurt.
Chris looks like a leader for a group of misfit antiheroes
😂
Bru right Nick right
This is by far the best show. These guys LOVE each other, and you can tell, they have such a fun loving challenging connection. Go compare to Skip Bayless whining and saying there is an asterisk with the Warriors Championship, which is just classless and he doesn't know when to STOP his schtick. Sometimes you stop doing your bullcrap and just tip your cap to the winner. That's what I do with Golden State Love these guys here. Fun stuff. Good people.
Steve Kerr is the greatest role player/head coach ever 3 with The Chicago Bulls 2 with The San Antonio Spurs as a role player and 4 championships as The Head Coach with The Golden State Warriors🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆overall 9 championships in total NBA🏀
And this team is poised to win 1 or 2 more. Legitimately 💯
Celtics in 7? I think they meant 7 years later. 😁
“swept the nets”
“beat the defending champs”
“beat the number 1 seed”
“have never lost back to back”
“best defense in the league”
“smart DPOY”
aaalrighttt, dubs in 6️⃣
Thats because everyone knew the Ws was better. But the media. I really dislike most of them
@@darthkermit4617 I’m sayin lol
@@darthkermit4617 Just wanted to say I dig your name brother!!!
@@buddyjaydubb for show
The Boston CREAMPUFFS were the most OVERRATED 51 win team ever!!
Lowkey the most underated show. The chemistry is AMAZING
💯✔
Facts
The show is full of bad takes, but it is indeed entertaining. It's really about TV, not basketball
I love this show!!!
I love hearing nick vent about gambling loses. I feel you by brother
Best morning sports show
I knew as soon as he flipped he was in trouble lol . Great show!
I predicted the Warriors would win the championship with 45 seconds to go in last night's game.
Right again!!!
Nick is a smart guy, the problem is he tried to outsmart himself. Should have just trusted his instincts.
He is useless
Nick ain't that smart. He believes LeBron is better than MJ which makes his intelligence highly questionable.
Thanks Nick for your sacrifice to Flip Flop to the Celtics...🙌 You were the reason we lost game 1..
Nick actually admits that he was wrong!!! Its going to be a long summer for him…..LOL. Its good to see him squirm!
Had the warriors winning in the off-season was a little worried when wiseman officially wasn’t coming back. Also NOT a warriors fan just simply know what I’m watching in the games don’t need the media to hype up teams that beat overhyped nets.
Lol tbh the nets were really that good , but GS was the best team in the playoffs regardless
@@buttkicker900 The Nets were definitely not that good. They were a collection of amazing players but not a team. They didn't play as a cohesive unit. When all you have to do is take away one guy, you're gonna win.
@@buttkicker900 The Nets was not good this season. That team was dysfunctional lol
@@ryanj3975 lol and they were still somewhat competitive
@@buttkicker900 Any team with Durant and Irving are gonna be competitive but playoff basketball is a different beast. They just weren't up for the challenge. Too much dysfunction.
Broussard looking like a younger carmine falcone with those shades in the batman movie
Lmao I see what u mean
@@leetraviusmckay2.066 lol
If GP2 plays game 1 this is a gentleman's sweep
Watching entertainment, which is what this is, enjoying and having fun while doing it, makes it that much more enjoyable for a viewer.
Well done Team.
Nick has been taking Ls all year lol. First with the Chiefs, then with Lebron, and now the Warriors!
Love how Draymond call Nick out on his latest podcast and call him a clown lol.
Because Nick specializes in comedy and not on analyzing players/basketball
Antoine will never give steph his flowers, even at death
This show is becoming more fun than Undisputed. I hope they change timeslot
Broussard definitely lifted this show
Yes, from being my favorite guest to making the chemistry work. After the guys from inside the NBA, these 3 have the most fun.
Nick Wright is the guy who said the Warriors Dynasty is Over on February 7th,2020 when #1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins is traded from Minnesota to Golden State for D’Angelo Russell and said “what are you doing Bob Myers” and said “We’ll never see Steph in another NBA finals”
This is an excellent panel and a great show!
When Chris slapped his leg, it sounded like he was wearing boxers 😂
4:09
This my one of my favorite sports commentaries. These guys are hilarious.
No matter how healthy Golden State was in the beginning of the playoffs, Broussard was going to be 10 toes down with Phoenix. We are not idiots out here, we heard what you said.
I remember he completely forgot about Golden State and was talking about the Suns like they were the new Golden State. Then he realized they still existed after the Suns lost and made the right picks after that.
Warriors!!!!
Im having fun listening to this guys🥰🥰🥰
Give everyone in this trio a max lifetime contract right now. They're perfect together. Love this show.
This the best sports talk show! I can watch this show!
Broussard def can't celebrate, mans switched picks soooo many times 🤣
I don't mind switching picks if the team you picked loses but he acted like the Suns were the new Warriors. Then he realized that the Warriors are still the best.
I LOVE THIS GROUP SO MUCH LOLOLOLOLOLOL
The sunglasses are Wildes' bit but if they both wear their sunglasses on the same show, would they be "The Brous Brothers".
👏 👏 👏
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Chris Broussard saying he doesn't like FLIP FLOPPING has to be the funniest statement I've heard all year considering he flip flops on every sport🤦🏿♂️
Nick can admit not like other analysts
Broussard reppin the Ray Ban prescription lenses. Classy.
these 3 are the most hilarious i’ve ever seen
And I got to respect The Golden State Warriors Steph Curry the original four Draymond Green Andre Iguodala and definitely Klay Thompson been there for all four titles 🏆🏆🏆🏆
This show has become my favourite. These 3 guys' chemistry is great and I spend my time laughing all the way through the video. Hope you guys stay together!
As a 73 yo gym rat that saw Halveljec, Knight, and Lucas at Ohio State, went to the same HS as Jerry Colangelo and played over 15 before they got to the NBA including Klay Thompson's father, Vernon Maxwell, Robert Reed, Speedy Walton, Kendall Gill, and Graig Hodges who Grandfather was my Little League, baseball coach. I was with Stephen A.; Golden State from the beginning and knew the only thing that could stop them was injuries. But those minor setbacks only lead to a stronger bench. Oh yea, I said in 6.
This show is hilarious. I'm sad that the season is over.
It's even better during the NFL season. Nick goes crazy lol
@@Ajr5691
Nfl is boring
This show was ridiculously hilarious 😂🤣
Finally, they remember Chris saying the Suns were basically unbeatable. I remember that because when he said that I instantly thought of the Warriors and was like, "I'm not sure."
People only spoke about the Celtics defense but forgot that GSW also had a great defense
Wow! Nick is getting humbled. Maybe Skip can learn from Nick.
Wright is wrong pretty much about everything. He flipped his pick because he saw the Dubs lose game 3 when the Celtics were up 2-1. Revisionist Wright deserves to lose his bets. His analytics stats are pretty much useless. He picked the Mavs over the Dubs because he loved how they shot the 3s. As for his flipping to picking of the Celtics, he forgot the Dubs are 2nd in defense. Only thing Wright focused on was Celtics beat the tough Nets, Bucks, and Heat teams but none of those team run the motion offense like the Dubs. Nick is lost as usual as once team play more often they can adjust. The great team adjust in game. Go Warriors!
He picks his homer Chiefs every year and in 5 years he's been right once because the 49ers couldn't finish. He's usually wrong it just takes folks too long to notice it.
I love to watch Nick accepting he was wrong 😂😂😂
Best sports show on right now. Its actually funny, not that fake funny like First Take and even Undisputed does often. Bravo
Nick is the first analyst to pick 2 teams n a 2 team race yet somehow not pick a winner!!😂😂
Loving this show! Im sad theres no game 7! This show and undisputed is the shizznit
You guys have made my favorite sports debate show. Keep it going! 👏👏
Nicks flip flop made me think how do I see his family and how can I say hi?
Best show this year! 👏
Chasing Steph is underrated. That's defense in and of itself
People really forgot that the warriors had a dominant defense early in the year when they were healthy. Draymond went down and Klay working back from injury dropped them a little bit. The Warriors defense wasn't just great early in the year, it was historically great
It didn't drop off that much. The Warriors ended with a 106.6 rating and the Celtics ended with a 106.2 rating. It's pretty obvious now that the Warriors were actually much better. We just missed some key players for long stretches.
@@ryanj3975 Before Draymond went down they had defensive rating that stayed around 100-102
@@Nerveroxis I know. They were in place to be 1. I'm just saying the drop off between 1 and 2 was negligible.
@@ryanj3975 True though Klay returning to pre-injury defense in the last 3 games was something I did not expect.
@@Nerveroxis I wouldn’t go quite that far but he was solid for sure. Better than anyone expected after being out 2 yrs.
So funny. Love the 4 main crew. Seems like they have such a great time
Since this guy said Steph not even in his top 30 all time I skip this segments..🤟🏾
Nick has gone from Miami, Cleveland to the Lakers. Talking about flip flopping 😂
There’s a reason they call you nick wrong
Nick went with statics at first and then went with what he thought his eyes saw
Bro… skip and Nick have looked unhinged all day. Steph and the warriors really did them bad
Broussard the ultimate flip flopper
Warriors started the season with an all-time historically great defense, and then when we lost Draymond for 6 weeks and completely fell apart on the defensive end, we dropped down to TIED WITH THE CELTICS in defensive rating.
There is no excuse to be surprised by Golden State's defense. None whatsoever.
Broussard flip flopped all playoffs. He got some nerve coming on here with those shades lol
daily reminder brou’s finals picks didn’t make the conference finals
Draymond called u out nick wrong 😂😂😂
KD’s legacy is in shambles 😢
Beyond shambles… and he still has to deal with Kyrie.. seesh…
He needs to head to the euro league at this point
Durant vs Curry or Lebron next year. If Durant wins, he’s in the top 10.
Really Wildes?! Golden State was ranked #1 with Boston on the defensive rating rankings for the regular season and your take on their defense in the finals is, "who saw this coming?" ROFL!
Is it just me, or does Wilde look alot like Seth Mcfarlene?? Especially when he laughs. 🤷🏽♂️
Scary thing is the warriors were honestly twoish years early. Klay just start playing professional basketball 5 months ago.. Poole is just starting to breakout. The rookies, Kuminga, Wiseman, and Moody are just starting to get experience
I've started saying after game 2 this series reminds me of the Toine/Gasol Memphis team with great length. .Like I predicted then if the Celtics don't score 100 they can't win.
My favorite sports show!!!
Bro, what is wrong with y'all talking heads? You *never* doubt the heart of a champion!
This is a really fun crew. More entertaining then Skip and Shannon and I thought they were the best duo on television.
Jenner's laugh always makes me smile
Nick Wrong "Reverse Predictions" way too good.
At least Chris was honest can’t say the same for nick 😂
Stephen A Smith predicted it since the beginning of the season, even though he wavered along the way.
